Chelsea vs Bournemouth Betting Tips: Cherries With a Chance?

The tricky dilemma of trying to implement a new playing style on your Premier League squad while fashioning positive performances and results on the pitch.

Maurizio Sarri has claimed it will take roughly two months to achieved the desired effect at Stamford Bridge, although a victory against Bournemouth on Saturday means that Chelsea go into the international break with four wins on the board and claims to challenge for the title.

Paddy Power go as short as 1/5 about the Blues although Ladbrokes offer a more generous 2/7 that the London side land another maximum haul, with Chelsea finding a way to win at St James’ Park as they had against Arsenal the previous week.

A Dodgy Defense?

Defensively, there are clearly question marks considering the ease with which Newcastle were able to equalise so quickly after falling behind, although Sarri will always attempt to outscore the opposition and won’t care so greatly for clean sheets.

It’s hard to think of many Premier League matches where the Cherries have set up to simply contain their opponents, with Eddie Howe engineering an unthinkable 3-0 victory in this fixture last season and Sarri will surely be wary of his team’s opponents.

The Cherries’ Odds Look Sweet

Bournemouth are a 16/1 poke with Ladbrokes to win the game and that is simply too big a price about the Dorset club triumphing considering this is a team who scoring and looking hard to beat.

Howe is another unrepentant manager when it comes to keeping clean sheets and the form of Callum Wilson has been outstanding thus far, with the striker looking for an injury-free campaign and more goals after shining in all three games to date.

The Cherries have scored two goals in each of their games to date, with the south coast team the only side to have scored against Cardiff before triumphing at West Ham and then storming back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 against Everton.
